spiritomb doesnt have the stats that you just listed. i think the fact it has no weaknesses though makes it desirable.

I like Bastiodon as a physical tank. It might not be able to survive some of the more powerful special attacks, but it has amamzing Def with ok Atk, so you can do some damage while your opponent whittles down your HP.

Tanks? I would say the 3 Regis from Hoenn, Blissey, Bronzong, Giratina, Cresselia, Deoxy's Defense form, Jirachi, Shuckle, Vespiquen, Bastiodon, Probopass, Dusknoir, Tyranitar, Lugia, Suicune, Uxie and Arceus. There are so many tanks but I think Deoxys in Defense Form and Arceus are the best tankers cos they can learn both Cosmic Power and Recover and they have high defenses as well.

I have to back Tyranitar for this one. High offense and defense and a decent speed to boot. Praticly unstoppable.

If you were to focus some hp evs into shuckle, and maybe bring in a baton pass amnesia and iron defence from Gorebyss, then set up toxic, then start double teaming, and finally use rest when needed, otherwise strong attack like earthquake, or maybe wrap, but then you you be stuck wasting pp, and you will have a very annoying, and a very evil Shuckle. Trust me, these things take forever to kill.

You could do that to anything and it would work Do it to a Dusknoir and the opponent will acctually feel threatened.

How true that is. But still Dusknoir can be beaten by Tyranitar since it is a Dark type pok'emon that can use Crunch and Dark Pulse. <<<WTF IS WITH THAT

Duskyboy here owns you with Will-O-Wisp. kthxbai

Yah, until I use a Mach Punch... or a Focus Blast.

Then again, the opponent could just own Gorebyss with a Vire's TPunch...
And if you managed to get that done, I'll givez you a cookie.

The absolute best tank ever is Arceus, with base 120s, Cosmic Power/Recover, custom typing, and the ability to sweep... Arceus is uber for a reason <_< (fine, maybe not the best, but definitely not super-sucky)

yeah... surely WoW will hit boah.

whats with your fit against dark pulse anyway? if TTar does get burned, dark pulse wont be affected whatsoever => again, dusknoir vs. boah... TTar will take it down in 2 turns max...

Dark Pulse is a speacial attack not phsyical. If Tyranitar is Burned it will not effect the power of speacial attacks. Only the Phsyical like Rock Slide and Crunch.

What about a Metagross? Just add 252 EV's to his Special Defense, 252 EV's to his HP, then 4 on his Speed, and you'll be set. He's got a decent movepool, and can take care of his weaknesses with certain moves. I've used one, and it didn't do to bad of a job. Could hold them while dealing damage at the same time.

Well, I would mostly suggest Lugia due to its heavy defense and sp.def. But if you're looking for a pokemon which can take heavy damage, then it's Wobbuffet. Wobbuffet may not have good stats but it has ABSOLUTELY AWESOME HP. Wobbuffet can take Dark and Ghost type attacks without a problem. Other choices are:BastiodonBlisseyClefableSnorlax

Thats true, wobbuffet might make a pretty good tank. He's hard to damage and can hit back twice as hard with counter and mirror coat.
